Wales v Fiji: Analysis of Warren Gatland’s team

Warren Gatland has named a full-strength squad for Thursday match against Fiji, making just three injury-enforced changes from the side that beat England last Saturday.

With Hallam Amos and Scott Williams ruled out of the tournament through injury, and Liam Williams missing through concussion, Gatland has been forced to shuffle his backline with Alex Cuthbert and the two Morgans, Matthew and Tyler, coming in.

The forwards who struggled at the set-piece at Twickenham will be given a chance to redeem themselves against the Fijian in the Millennium Stadium.

Both Dan Lydiate and Taulupe Faletau will win their 50th caps for Wales in the back row.

While James Hook will mark his incredible return from the brink of international wilderness by taking his place on the bench.

Here is my analysis of the team picked to face Fiji.
